Robert Macadaeg and Peter Josephson ponder the imponderable in Tragedy: a tragedy.

PORTSMOUTH — The sun is setting...and no one is quite sure if it is going to rise again. Ever. Such is the dilemma posed by playwright Will Eno in his award-winning play, Tragedy: a tragedy, presented this October by ACT ONE’s Festival 2012 at the West End Studio Theatre in Portmouth, NH and sponsored by The Atticus Group.Tragedy: a tragedy is a revelatory comedy about the end of the world. Possibly. Eno conjures a quirky and tender band of newscasters to guide us through this “darkly hilarious and deeply lyrical tale.” Director Leslie Pasternack has assembled a fine cast of players to bring this unique theatre creation to life. Peter Josephson, Leslie Trentalange, and Robert Macadaeg are the intrepid local newscasters, guided by the television station’s legal advisor, played by Chris Leon. Joe Berardi is The Witness to the unfolding events of this night.Tragedy: a tragedy will play Friday, Oct. 19 and 26 at 8pm and Saturday, Oct. 20 and 27 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are $18/$20; with Festival Pass $14/$16.
